Notes
- Bread Buring Too Fast: You need to make sure the heat is on low to medium when toasting the bread. If you toast the bread on high heat, there is a greater chance for the bread to burn.
- Filling Too Dry: Because you will not be using mayo, your sandwich filling could easily become too dry. So, you need to make sure that you are using enough oil to saute the filling. Also, overcooking the chicken can make the filling dry.
- Cheese Not Melting: If the cheese on the filling does not melt properly, you need to put the heat on low and toast the sandwich for longer.
- Sandwich Falling Apart: You can’t use too much sandwich filling, or it might just start to fall apart. Also, using rustic bread is a great idea because it helps with structure.
